Chapter 108 Establishment of Patent System

Taking Xiangyi into the blacksmith's shop, the blacksmith's shop has been upgraded to the second level at the moment. After the upgrade, there is no time to come here. This time, I came here to take a good look at how the armor is now made.

Walking in, there was a heat wave, and there was the sound of knocking and knocking inside. The blacksmith shop was promoted to the second level, and there were more people inside. There were more than 30 blacksmiths, some were making weapons, and some were making armor. It was not as deserted as in the past, but there were all the heavy-duty armors that had been made next to them. The dim candlelight in the room cast a light yellow halo on the armor leaves, with a kind of coldness, and a guard on the chest. The heart mirror is so polished that it can be used as a bronze mirror. The iron helmet has phoenix wings on both sides and is worn on the head. The phoenix wings can also block falling arrows. The chest mirror can block the vital points of the chest. Most of the attacks and other parts are airtight iron armor leaves. Wearing and piercing armor not only keeps the body flexible, but also the body's armor leaves have a superimposing effect. When exercising, the armor leaves will have a superimposed effect. stronger.

I looked at the output again. The output has been increased to [-] in January for mail armor, and [-] for armor in January. It allows me to quickly arm a group of powerful soldiers. This number is comparable to the number of people trained in my barracks every month. , The soldiers here have finished training, and the armor over there has also been made.

I wondered if the output could be increased, but the 2000 taels of silver required for the upgrade, forget it, the fortress is short of money now, so come to upgrade next time, I interrupted this idea, especially reluctant to look at the plate armor.Plate!Every man's dream, claiming that if you want to kill a knight wearing plate armor, you need to knock him out first, and then cut the joint with a knife, or an archer is lucky and shoots Hit his eyes, a genuine iron can, wearing this kind of armor, and equipped with an iron can cavalry, charging, it is simply crushed by a tank!But seeing the pile of upgrade conditions in the back, I can only reluctantly give up this plan.

After looking at it for a while, I went to the firearms bureau again. At the moment, the firearms bureau was in full swing, and there were bursts of clanging sounds from inside. The twenty master blacksmiths and twenty apprentices were making bird guns inside.

As soon as he walked in, a wave of heat rushed over, washing away the chill of autumn, and Cheng Mo put the iron-covered steel bar in a mold with semicircular grooves and beat it. .There are a few more cubicles on the side.

Xiao Chuan was a little strange, looking at the compartment with a lock on it, he was inexplicable, there was no such thing when he came last time.

Old man Li outside and Cheng Mo saw Xiao Chuan at the same time. Old man Li ran over immediately with a smug face, as if he was very satisfied with the current size of the Firearms Bureau.

Xiao Chuan pointed at the compartment strangely, and said, "Old man, I can't understand what is in that compartment. When I came last time, I remembered that it seemed to be a place where goods were piled up."

"Well..." Old man Li's face was a bit ugly, but Cheng Mo curled his lips and said with disdain: "Hey, you can't see that, they are preparing Tibetan masters, who doesn't have two unique skills, both of them are The ability to eat, who wants to reveal it, several master craftsmen have their own compartments, they make bird guns, and when they need to use their unique skills or special things, they will go there."

Xiao Chuan nodded and understood. They still don’t want to share technology. Hehe, I didn’t expect that craftsmen in Ming Dynasty were the same as those in modern times. Molds and the like that can increase production are hidden away, for fear of learning from the past, just like those factories in the previous life, when something happened to a machine, this person would look for that, and that person would find his own master, and this person would go to work again. Find your own master, sometimes you can even find seven or eight ancestors, why?Everyone teaches apprentices to keep a hand (real people and real things, I have experienced it)

This kind of thing is very difficult to solve now, really want to directly send a team of soldiers, put a knife on their necks, and force them to teach?This is possible, but if this is the case, it will eliminate the possibility of others defecting to him in the future. If this matter gets out, who would dare to come over to those craftsmen?It is impossible to kill the chicken and take the egg.

The few people in those compartments all came out when they heard the commotion outside. They quickly saluted Xiaochuan with respect in their eyes. They were obviously very satisfied with their current life. Don't be lazy, unlike the general guard soldiers, who made crudely for the court and sold them themselves, they are extremely excellent.

Looking at their honest and honest faces, they came to their fortress to do their best work, but if they were asked to share their housekeeping skills, it would be harder than killing them. Today I am here to announce something to that family, Master Cheng Mo, donated his improved three-pointed seven-edged twist drill for everyone in the Firearms Bureau to share"

What!All the blacksmiths couldn't believe it. On the one hand, they also knew that Cheng Mo used a powerful drill, which was different from theirs, and the boring was very convenient. They didn't expect this guy to be so stupid as to contribute his technology. They all looked at him with the eyes of whether his brain was broken like that old man Li. Because old man Li taught his apprentice, they thought that this guy must have a broken brain. Don't you know that he taught his apprentice to starve to death?Moreover, wouldn't this break the rules.

Their eyes were disdainful, and they didn't want to be with this idiot who broke the rules. Cheng Mo and the others were also surprised. This technology was not invented by the lord, so why is it now his?

Xiao Chuan looked at them, and said lightly: "Reward Master Cheng Mo, 50 taels of silver. From now on, every time he uses this drill to make a bird gun, he can get ten coins."

Si————A gasping sound, 50 taels of silver, what is the concept?They are making bird guns, each person has twenty pieces a year, which is only 40 taels. How many blunderbuss and ten cents will be made in the future?

The eyes that were disdainful just now have turned into blatant jealousy.

Then Cheng Mo and everyone else were surprised. Didn't the lord invent this?Cheng Mo glanced at the group of colleagues behind him, saw their jealous eyes, and understood in his heart, it's wonderful, wonderful, such a simple plan can make these craftsmen who have retained their skills come up with their own without reservation. Ability, such a clever trick, I really don't know how the lord's head grows.

The five or six blacksmiths behind them all looked jealous. They also wanted to show their own technology, but when they thought of passing on their technology that had been handed down for many years to others, they were shaken for a while.

Looking at them, Xiao Chuan knew what they were thinking. They had been hiding their technologies for many years. It would be unacceptable for them to take them out for a while, but as soon as Cheng Mo's reward arrived, the continuous stream of patents After the fee is earned, the temptation of this kind of interest is not afraid that they will not take the bait. The wave after wave of patent fees is a hammer called interest, which breaks their persistence again and again.

Cheng Mo and Old Man Li looked at each other without saying a word, their eyes were full of shock, they are both human beings, so they naturally understand that this small patent can make this group of people who regard technology as a treasure, Take out your own unique skills and promote each other in this way, this is a clever plan!I admire Xiao Chuan even more in my heart.

Walking out of the firearms bureau, Xiangyi, who was silent at the side, said with doubts in her beautiful big eyes, "Xiao Chuan, if you give them money like this, then anyone can earn these patent fees. The money paid to these craftsmen is increasing, and the finances may not be able to support them by then."

Hearing Xiangyi's words, Xiao Chuan laughed. This is the limitation of people at this time. These technical benefits are not superimposed, but replaced. There are only so many technologies needed. The drill bit for this drill has ten Individuals have handed over their own drill bits one after another, and there is only one drill bit available, and only one person needs to pay the patent fee, not all of them, and the remaining nine people who have not made any money will get nothing. What did you do?No, on the contrary, they will innovate more attentively. Can't they be jealous when they see the snow-white silver income of the person who makes money?Hey, this is the cleverness of future patent fees.Xiaochuan explained to Xiangyi, but she didn't quite understand.

Aqiu——Xiao Chuan sneezed heavily, and asked strangely, "Who, did anyone speak ill of me?"

"Hmph, who dares to speak ill of you, Qin Baihu? It's because you've caught a cold, so I told you to come out and wear more clothes." Said Xiangyi again: "Go, go to the shop on the street to buy some fabrics, I want to make you a jacket son"

What, making clothes again, Xiao Chuan has a bitter face, you can make clothes, can you stop embroidering mandarin ducks and flowers on it, and Han Gang and others will laugh at him again, hey.

But looking at Xiangyi's serious face, he thought, forget it, just do as she did, but the uneasy feeling in his heart still didn't disappear.

*******
In the northwest of Shandong, on the north bank of the canal, a city was surrounded by the red sea, but the whole city was empty without a single figure, obviously an empty city, on the high platform outside.

Yang Yufan's handsome face was full of exhaustion, and the two big black eye circles showed that his tired face was full of anger at the moment. Looking at Liu Zeqing who was beside him, he shouted angrily: "Liu Zeqing, wait, I will report to the emperor." I will sue you for the lax siege of the city! You deliberately let the thieves go, it's just crazy!"

Liu Zeqing at the side had a calm expression, and there was no expression on his dark face, and he said: "Shuai Yang wants to win, so go ahead, this battle is not my fault, but the fault of my subordinates." ." He sneered in his heart, humph, if you don't let the bandit go, are you wasting my money and food here?Or attack the city to consume precious troops?

Yang Yufan was very angry, and shouted: "I will let my father put on the fold, and face His Majesty, just wait, Liu Zeqing!" He turned around and walked down after finishing speaking.

On the side, his adopted son Liu Yuan came to him and said worriedly: "His father Yang Zhaoji can speak well in front of the emperor. What if they read your adopted father's book?"

"Haha, speaking, can you compare with the Donglin Party behind Zhou's house?" Liu Zeqing laughed and said, "Besides, we have already defeated the Shanxi bandits in this battle and drove them away. This battle is a great achievement, why do we have to remember it wrong? "
